Hip-O Records gives a new meaning to the word "Ultimate", with this wonderful collection of legendary Conway Twitty. Conway probably sang some of the best remembered country songs ever recorded. A good example is "A RAINY NIGHT IN GEORGIA" with Sam Moore is the greatest. Twitty's duets with Loretta Lynn - "AFTER THE FIRE IS GONE" and "LOUISIANA WOMAN, MISSISSIPPI MAN" is featured on this album and is nothing less than classic. Conway's growling voice was unmistakable and thoroughly his trademark.

A stand out - "IT'S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE, if you can find a better collection of Conway Twitty's best of or greatest hits on any other CD, it would be a miracle. Andy McKaie with Hip-O Records has come up with a complete and enjoyable journey through the musical career of the most beloved country ballad singer of our time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!! Fantastic!!, October 22, 1999

Conway's growling voice was the best. The songs on this CD are some of the very best of Conway's. The duet with Sam Moore"Rainy Night In Georgia" is the greatest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Collection? You Betcha!, May 18, 2005

This review is from: Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)

Ultimate Collection is, IMHO, the best small compilation of the hits Conway Twitty released over his career. The best thing about the album is the inclusion of "That's My Job", which is my favorite song - that's what my father would always say when you thanked him for something he did for you - so it may only be an emotional favorite, so sue me. I do have to voice a gripe about the liner notes, though. The statement: "By the end of his life, it didn't really matter how good Conway Twity's records were. His day had passed, although his run had been among the longest." Liner notes are supposed to be a history of the artist, not a chance to kick someone who isn't around to defend themselves.
